  • WHAT A NIGHT!!!
    A beautiful winters day turning into complete hardship dealing with unforseen circumstances whilst camping on the summit of Blencathra in the Lake District UK. I would never have believed that at 830m above sea level with a temperature of -5 degrees C it would, in a couple of hours, raise the temperature by at least 10 degrees and thaw out a frozen mountain. All water seemed to run towards and through my tent! Dealing with the problems by being calm and thinking carfully of all angles of risk and acting accordingly kept Blue and I safe.
    Enjoy the outdoors and minimise your risks but never stop adventuring!
    All love
    Al and Blue

    Your experiences mate, remind many of us outdoor adventurers of some of our insane moments like this where the weather can turn on a dime and challenge our skillsets to the max. Like yourself, I too like to venture out when storms are predicted to test my kit and ability to adapt to extreme conditions. I'm nearly 73 and continue on in my backpacking and paddling adventures and hope I can until my last day on earth. Your video's are not only entertaining but your message on safety...knowing your limits, bringing the right kit for the conditions, making one's boots and gloves a super high priority, keeping calm in the eye of the storm, etc is so important and you tell it well. We all need mentors and you shine mate as a good example to follow.

    Al, Blue thanks for another great adventure film. I so remember being in my tent and watching the water flooding in. I got out and drived in another tent for the night. I always remember the night and know not to camp in that spot. Take care and thanks for sharing your adventure. I don't think I could be that composed. Take care and blue a big cuddle from me. Catch wait for the next one.

      Always mate but no signs of any previous water flow although this is classed as ‘Hortonian excess overland flow’ where the ground won’t allow any water or more water to infiltrate hence why it runs over the top. A complete surprise that night 😂

    I once pitched in 40 mph winds, heavy snow and above tree line (10,700 ft. el.) at 3 AM ! Had to get up and out of the tent to clear away the snow to keep from being completely buried . In the morning there was 5' (60 inches ) of fresh snow. You had it harder!
